With the red clay of Roland Garros tamed, Maria Sharapova heads to the less alien setting of Wimbledon's grass a clear favorite having completed the career grand slam and regained her place at the pinnacle of the rankings.
Having washed the red dust out of her long blonde hair, she waves goodbye to her least favorite surface - on which she once described herself as a "cow on ice" - and says hello to Centre Court where she feels much more at home.
The Russian arrives as the number one seed and world number one having managed to keep her long limbs in check to win her first French Open title.
In doing so, Sharapova proved that she is head and shoulders above the current crop of women players.

"I can't wait to step on it (the grass) and start working and getting ready for Wimbledon," Sharapova told reporters after hoisting the Suzanne Lenglen Cup.
"Everyone wants to beat a grand slam champion and beat the number one so when I step out on court I am going to start working towards improving."
